Maori Legends by Roger Hart and A.W. Reed

The ancient Maori peopled his word with imaginative yet clearly-defined gods and manifestations. He had his own vivid account of the creation of the world, the separation and the clothing of the Earth Mother, and the ornamenting of the Sky Father with sun, moon and stars by Tane-matua. Tangaroa, the god of the sea, is at war with Tane of the Forests, and both are attacked by Tawhiri-matea, the god of winds. The adventures of the gods of the Maori pantheon had an important influence on thought and custom, and provided assurance that man and his surroundings were under the guardianship of gods who were prepared to protect those who honoured them.
